I take a bus to work every day. The bus ride takes about 45 minutes, give or take, most often give. On Thursday the trip home took me 4 hours though. It was enlightening, so I thought I would share it with you. There is a bit of luck, mostly bad luck, involved in making this happen. Hop on the bus, and just assume that it is your bus. It is parked in the same spot as usual, right? If the bus driver is not the same bus driver, don’t think that is anything strange. The usual bus driver could be busy with million other things.

I’ll be home for Christmas
I just returned from Bogota, Colombia, from a work trip. This time I flew through New York, JFK. That is a mistake. If you ever can, don’t go to New York, except if you really have to. I prefer Atlanta. I love the little train system and you can get a nice walk if you want to and have time by not taking the train. You won’t get lost if you walk. JFK airport, however is quite different. I can see how they tried to make it more cozy or whatever by making little “towns” and connecting them with corridors. But you can lose your sense of direction really easily.…
